Fun Climb - Bit Dirty
This was fun climb. As said before, one polished section. Very dirty while we were there, and warm in the afternoon with the sun on us.

Rubber don't work on glass
Requires strong core power to layback through the slick as glass middle. I had to hangdog it.

Fun but....
Fun climb with a section of, you guessed it, slick feet. Makes Bloody Crack at Looking Glass look well textured. A few stems, finger locks and jams add to the fun. Top was dirty.

Probably my favorite 5.9 at the New
I really enjoyed this climb and found the crux section to be very thought provoking and core intensive.

Frustrating
There is about a 3'x3' section that is as smooth as glass... not hard once you figure it out but hard to onsight.

Classic
Climbed this one a long time ago. I was happy to get back on it but blew the alzheimers onsight at the crux with a slipped foot on polished stone.

I think the crux is about 12 feet up where the rock gets real polished. There is a cam wedged at the top in a flake. Tried to free it, but it's pretty stuck. I guess that's why someone left it
